A while back we shot my friend Frankie's Grand National which has an LS swap. Lawrence brought over his Regal that has gone through some cool mods yet still runs the original 3.8 liter single turbo motor.
Sit back and enjoy the ride!

I was Mustang guy back in the 80s - 90s but always loved the GNs and Regals the only reason that I didn’t buy one was the two friends that had them couldn’t keep from them getting stollen so I didn’t want to deal with that. This is one of if not the nicest looking T Type I’ve seen to date, love that you kept it mostly stock looking on outside and inside, love the wheels & color and you made IMO excellent mods. Great job guy!

He went back and rather didn't wanna ship the car. I had already several us classics and not enough money to buy the ridiculous low priced car.

Hearing that 3800 engine sound while they were driving the car around took me back. I had two 3800s in my life. I was gifted a clean but high mileage 87 Buick LeSabre when I was fairly young after I got my license. It needed some work, mainly Drive axles in the front because both outer CV boots were torn, but other than that it was maintenance related items like brakes and rotors and a tune-up. When I started working in field service I still had it and the odometer ended up with well over three hundred thousand miles on it before I was more or less forced to upgrade it because it had too many miles on it for my company to reimburse me mileage anymore. The only issue I had with all the miles i put on it was a mass airflow sensor. I replaced it with an Impala that had the 3800 as well. I bought it used with already 46k miles on it in 2002. My entire purpose in buying the car was because of the engine under the hood. It was the right price from a local dealer I trusted and I was more interested in the powertrain honestly than the car itself. That car still runs today with over 450,000 miles on it. Yes I maintained both these vehicles with religious oil changes and I'm synthetic oil man. But I'm not easy on cars. So it's no small feat. The 3800 has always been a phenomenal engine. Especially considering it started out in competition with the 229 Chevy and the 229 Chevy was smooth as glass compared to the Buick 231. Ironically my family had a car with a Chevy 229 in it that my mother liked a lot when I was l Young so I grew up around that engine as well. That car was pretty bulletproof as well. It was a 1980 Malibu. I do recall my father ripping all the emissions crap off and throwing it and damn garbage early on because it was hard on spark plugs. After that it seemed like It never needed maintenance anymore. The 229 was just a 305 with two cylinders cut off. The 231 was pretty much invented from scratch I believe in the 70s people came to know them as the 3800 though. Honestly I never had a bad car in my life so far, but the thing I remember most about my Impala especially is it never gave me any kind of fear of having a breakdown. Even when I had crazy mileage on my Impala, my co-workers would make jokes about me starting to carry sneakers because I'm going to be walking eventually. You know I never even really was concerned. I don't think the Impala ever even stalled once. I ended up giving it to a friend of mine with about 350,000 miles on it several years ago because his family Minivan, and the only vehicle they had at the time, an early 2000 Caravan with a 3.3v6, had so many issues that it wasn't even worth fixing anymore. They were poor times for him and I knew my company wasnt going to pay me mileage much longer for that vehicle either. He still has it today and apparently it's changed his tune because he went from being mr. Mopar to buying his wife an Acadia a year ago now that things are going better. He still has the Impala though...he drives it to work every day. He told me he loves it more than his wife most days.

Thats my old car from CT. I actually had that car built when it was stock. It had a badass motor in it at the time but kool to see it still turning heads. All the Fab work was done by JW Racing in CT where the car was built.

@@jasons3721 thanks. Bought it with 32k in 2013 and will never sell it. It has an astroroof, digital dash, power seat, and even Twilight Sentennial (automatic headlights). I have the original motor and everything sitting in my garage so everything is numbers matching. These cars are only going up in value.
